The decision tree structure can be analysed to gain further insight on the relation between the features and the target to predict. In this example, we show how to retrieve:
decision_path
method;Out:
The binary tree structure has 5 nodes and has the following tree structure: node=0 test node: go to node 1 if X[:, 3] <= 0.800000011920929 else to node 2. node=1 leaf node. node=2 test node: go to node 3 if X[:, 2] <= 4.950000047683716 else to node 4. node=3 leaf node. node=4 leaf node. Rules used to predict sample 0: decision id node 0 : (X_test[0, 3] (= 2.4) > 0.800000011920929) decision id node 2 : (X_test[0, 2] (= 5.1) > 4.950000047683716) The following samples [0, 1] share the node [0 2] in the tree It is 40.0 % of all nodes.
